My Blood Valentine to play in New York ! ! ! All Tomorrow's Parties

WELCOME BACK




So My Bloody Valentine has been a mystery for god knows how long now, they were set to play Coachella this year but since Coachella sucks (granted they do have Aphex Twin as a last minute add on) I bought tickets to see them in June in London. Now news rolls out (Thanks to Karl Meier) that All Tomorrow's Parties will take place in New York in September with none other than My Bloody Valentine headlining.

There is other awesome stuff so far like Tortoise performing millions now living will never die and Built to Spill playing Perfect From Now On, but what is even cooler is that you have to stay on site for the 3 days.

It's going to be one hell of a party, I think that much can be counted on.
In case you missed the other link... here is the OFFICAL NEW YORK ALL TOMORROW'S PARTY LINK.

Lollapalooza, Pitchfork line up's announced



So the line up's are up. Decide for yourself...

lollapalooza

I think it's interesting that lollapalooza have very recent headliners on the bill again...
see Wilco, Kanye West etc...
Granted these are major forces in music today but it says a lot to me about the state of the music industry when they have to have repeat appearances so recently. When lollapalooza was actually innovative and had no problem assembling interesting line ups, Perry Farrell wasn't wearing depends yet so I attribute some of this to that... I'll be there either way drinking shitty beer and sweating three days in a row.

JUST AN IDEA.... but how bout a little hometown love for RISE AGAINST at lollapalooza. A kick ass band that keeps getting better and better who do good and positive things! They should be headlining the fucking thing...

RISE AGAINST
Here is the unedited version of Ready to Fall which really should be the only version of the video.





lastly... I'm looking forward to Wicker Park Fest this year as last years was the sleeper victory for me. Russian Circles and High on Fire ripped.
